A jewelry sale is owned inventory at a defendable cost, memo and consignment that does not belong to you, and a bench that can still size, set, and repair after you leave. Buyers will not pay retail for cases. They want invoices, scrap vs finished goods, and a clear line between what the vendor can pull back and what conveys.
Custom-order books, bridal holds, and layaway are liabilities until they are delivered. If the following is really your taste and your after-hours appointments, plan on a real introduction period—or a price that assumes a new jeweler on the bench.
Jewelers’ block insurance, alarm certificates, and safe or vault specs show up early because a buyer’s carrier will ask. So will any city secondhand-dealer or precious-metals license. A shop that buys scrap gold has a compliance file, not just a scale in the back. Missing police-report logs on buys stall closings.
Vendor memo lines—the brands that fill the window—often require a new credit application and sometimes a remodel or minimum. We map those relationships before listing so a buyer is not touring a case they cannot restock after you leave.
The purchase agreement has to say how diamonds, watches, and gold are counted, who is in the room, and what happens to memo. A fuzzy “about the inventory” clause is how these deals blow up. Repair tickets in process need an owner and a price so a customer is not standing at the case the Monday after close with no jeweler.
Have cost files, a memo list, and a simple repair-volume history ready. Bridge Point would rather argue the count method now than watch a physical fail the week of closing.
